Ok Help! Have I Got What I Need For Gf Cooking?

[rgeelan]

I have gone out and bought a duplicate of all the following items to really try to cut down on cross contamination. My DH is going to think I am insane but I would rather have 2 of things than a sick child...

Collander

Cutting board

Wooden Spoons

Rubber Spatula (because I am nutorious for melting them and food is hard to get out of melted rubber)

Flour Sifter

Rubbermade container for gluten-free Flour

New Toaster

Is there anything that is 100% essential that I am missing???

Your list looks pretty complete, but do you have extra pots and pans? Not sure if this is essential, but do you need a whisk?

I thought I didn't need new pots and pans? I have the coated kind and they get washed very well in our dishwasher...

And I do have a wisk...

Oh, okay...you have a whisk. About pots/pans...if they're metal, they should be fine, as long as they are cleaned well. I'm absolutely paranoid and many of the glutened pots and pans were old and scratched, so I thought there was a greater risk of them retaining gluten and therefore, I got one new pot and a new frying pan (and the other cooking things: collander, spatula, etc.). Anyway, if you have teflon, it's definitely not safe to use the same pots and pans. Teflon, I believe, is the worst type of pan to use because it's the hardest to clean.....so if it's steel or something, it's probably all right, provided they get washed well, as you mentioned they do.......
